/**
 * A marker interface for fields whose name is defined.
 * <p>
 * While all {@link Field} implementations are {@link Named}, not all of them
 * produce a name known to the underlying dialect's SQL engine. E.g.
 * <code>'a' || 'b'</code> has a name called "concat", but this may not be the
 * name the SQL engine uses for this expression. In some cases, jOOQ needs to
 * explicitly produce the name for unnamed fields.
